Subway Art Valentine's Day Card
So, I can't take credit for coming up with this idea. I saw a wall decor sign someone did like this on the Creative Critters Imaginations Blog and loved the idea but wanted to try it out on a card. This was so super simple and easy.
I used the All Wrapped Up Cricut Imagine cartridge for my dark pink color and the Word Collage Project cartridge for the card front. I flooded the image with the dark pink and set my Imagine to print only and sized it to 4.7". I then also flood filled one of the standard box images with the same dark pink and set my Imagine to print and cut and sized the box to 4 1/2".
My card stock base is white card stock cut and scored to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". I cut the dark pink mat down to 4" X 5 1/4" and then trimmed down the collage to fit my card front and adhered it all together. I love how it turned out and by using the mat in the same color as the words it makes it appear as if the words were actually cut out. I love using this project cartridge this way. Thanks for visiting.

21st Birthday Wishes
The new challenge at the Scrappy Frogs Blog is to make a Birthday project. My niece just turned 21 and this is the card I made for her. The card base was cut using the Cricut Imagine cartridge All Wrapped Up at 5 1/2”. I used the layer feature when cutting card. I then cut the sentiment at 1 1/4” also using the layers feature. I used the font from the Birthday Bash cricut cartridge to cut the 21. I cut the shadow from pink and the base layer in green. I added some firefly stickles to the 21 to make them stand out. I also added some gems to the mat and some faux white stitching around the card base. It was a quick easy card to put together.

Mother’s Day Card
Here is a quick Mother’s Day card I made this afternoon using the All Wrapped Up Cricut Imagine cartridge. This is a card that is on the cartridge. The Imagine cartridges don’t have the typically creative features like the regular cricut cartridges do. I cut this card at 5 1/2” which gave me a wide of 8” so my finished card size is 4” X 5 1/2 and will fit in a regular A2 envelope. I left all the colors as they were in the book and used the layer feature to cut the images. I scored and folded the card base. Before adhering the blue scalloped layer I lightly sprayed it with some Electric Blue glimmer mist to give it some sparkle which doesn’t show up well in the photo. After it dried I adhered it to my card. I adhered the layers of the Babushka doll with pop dots except for the center of the flower under the scarf. To finish the card I used my white gel pen to add some faux stitching along the edge of the blue scallop mat. I also added some dark pink rhinestone flowers to the corners of the scallop and a dark pink rhinestone gem to the center of the flower. I stamped my sentiment Happy Mother’s Day in white pigment ink. I am really loving the bright colors on the All Wrapped Up Imagine cartridge. Thanks for visiting.

All Wrapped Up Boxes
The cartridge prints out a dotted score line so you know where to score and fold your boxes. These went together really quickly. I love the bright colors and patterns on the cartridge and hope to get a chance to play more with it soon. Hope you all have a great Easter.
